On Privilege and Pets

Posted on March 25, 2015October 10, 2018 by sbuckleit

A few weeks ago we took Chara to the Paw Pet Resort for some water therapy. The vet had recommended both the location and the activity to us to help strengthen her muscles and stabilize her joints, and so we wanted to make sure we followed through. (Now, a disclaimer before I get into this … Continue reading On Privilege and Pets →

The latest on Insta:

In non-writing news… my knitting has grown a head! ⁠ This is where the magic happens (sort of). In all reality, I do a lot of writing from the couch or bed—sometimes, if there’s a sleeping baby in the room, I’ll even write Harry Potter style, under the covers with my knees propped up so that I can still see the screen.⁠ Home sweet home ✨. We just got home from a visit to Georgia, where I met with my publisher and officially signed my contract. Now comes all the hard work! Hi friends! I’m back on the ole social media! I have an opportunity to publish one of my books, and my publisher wants me to work on my social media presence. So here I am! Get ready for sneak peeks into the life of a writer, musings on the creative process, and snippets of the other things that make life worth living for me: hand knitted garments, early morning light, good food and my extremely cute coworkers. ⁠ We’re proud to introduce the newest member of our family: Hi friends! Just popping in quickly to say that we’re doing well and bungling along in this busy season of growing humans and juggling PhDs and careers and surviving pandemics. We haven’t missed being on social media, but we sure do miss you all! I’m planning to stay off Instagram for good, but will start posting monthly photos (as a means of record keeping for our family) on my blog—you can find my email there, and I’d love to hear from you! (Swipe to see how big Linden has gotten, and how big my belly is getting 👀) We adopted Wren as an adult dog. And while there are still painful reminders of her past (a missing limb, a tendency to lunge for McDonald’s bags left on the side of the road, and a penchant for disappearing along stream bottoms—Mississippi strays gotta keep their water sources close), it is incredible to me how far she has come. From a very sick, heartworm-riddled dog that didn’t understand much of human words or body language, she has transformed into a healthy, thriving member of the family. This little three-legged pup easily keeps up on 3+ mile trail runs. She knows how to open our side door, so she can bask outside at her will. She gets excited whenever someone puts on their sneakers or picks up a leash. And she loves us so quietly and thoroughly that it’s impossible not to adore her right back. All this to say—if you’re on the fence about adopting an adult dog, take the chance. The rewards of knowing how much we have changed her life—and of getting to enjoy her new cushy life alongside her—are immeasurable. ❤️ Cutest coworker Joyous hammock swings ❤️
